  1. Images should match the month’s theme and been captured within the 12 months preceding the month in which they are shown.<\/li>
  2. There is a limit of 20 images per person, 10 themed and 10 images of your choice.<\/li>
  3. The best image ratio to match the projector screen is 4:3. Cropping to this ratio ensures the image will be displayed full screen\u00a0 however, it is not necessary to do so.<\/li>
  4. File size for each image, to go on the Web site, should be kept to between one and two megabytes please.<\/li>
  5. For the five images you select to go onto the monthly photo page of the Web site, please title the files with species common name, location (optional) and your name (initial and surname).<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    January 2024<\/span><\/a><\/span> \u2013 Best of 2023<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>January is where members get to showcase their best images taken within the previous calendar year. Anything goes as long as the main subject is a bird.<\/span><\/p>

    February 2024<\/span><\/a><\/span> \u2013 Flocks<\/span>. <\/span>In this one we are looking for a group of birds. The more the merrier, however the quantity the photographer perceives to be a ‘flock’ is up to their discretion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    March 2024<\/span><\/a><\/span> \u2013 Water\/Wet<\/span>. <\/span>Looking for more than just a bird with water somewhere in the shot. Some form of interaction between the two would be preferred or maybe a bird that is wet. Other interpretations of the theme would be welcome and of course will create some discussion on the night.<\/p>

    April 2024<\/span><\/a> – Bird on a wire\/Post<\/span>. <\/span>This is a fairly simple one where the subject just needs to be on some form of wire or post like object. ‘Wire’ can be stretched to metal rails or even train tracks. ‘Post’ however, can’t be a naturally occurring broken off tree stump but should be something positioned or altered by human intervention.<\/p>

    May 2024 -Adornments<\/span>. <\/span>What we are looking for here is where the changes in colour is not a block colour. For example, not the changes in colours found on a Female Satin Flycatcher or those on a male Australasian Figbird ssp vielloti. The variation needs to be something along the lines of stripes, chevrons, spots etc. So the black feathers on an Australian White Ibis, the breast markings on a Peaceful Dove, or some markings on the exposed skin of the bird would qualify. I’ve only dealt with colour adornments here but there are others types.<\/p>

    June 2024 – Hidden\/Hiding<\/span>. <\/span>Here is a chance to show all those images that you would normally immediately reject. With this theme some of the subject bird is to be obscured by some object, however the eye\/s must be visible. If you can compose the image so that the bird appears to be hiding while keeping an eye on you that would be fantastic. See if you can have some fun with this one.<\/p>

    July 2024 – Birds in the Landscape<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span> This one requires you to take an image that includes the environment in which the bird is found. So, you can practice your landscape\/sunset photography here, however the image must contain a bird.\u00a0<\/p>

    August 2024 – The eyes have it.<\/span> No need to guess what is required in this one. The object here is to get images of the eye or eyes. The more the eye\/s fill the image the better. You may have to brush up on your field craft here to get close enough to obtain a decent close-up of the eye\/s. Good luck.<\/p>

    September 2024 – Large Birds<\/span>. <\/span>An image of any species larger than an Australian Magpie will suffice for this one.<\/p>

    October 2024 – Out on a Limb<\/span>. <\/span>This is a suggestion from one of the photo group members, so don’t shoot the editor of this page. Subject\/s should be in full view on a tree limb, branch, or stick, (alive or dead plant) but not on any man-made item. Images could be frontal or dorsal as long as the subject is identifiable. Overall, a fairly reasonable and easy set of instructions to comply with, I think.<\/p>

    November 2024 – Birds and Blossoms<\/span>. <\/span>Just a rename of our regular theme here. Subject\/s could be feeding on flowers or simply posed in close proximity to blossoms to make an attractive image.<\/p>

    December 2024 – Amongst the Herbage<\/span>. <\/span>Another suggestion from the floor here although the editor has changed the requirements slightly, from grasses to herbage. Subject\/s could be posing, feeding etc on the ground or in the herbage. Herbage, according to the Macquarie English Dictionary is any non-woody plant. So, grasses, sedges, rushes, and herbaceous plants. Subjects could be partially hidden or in full view (preferably).\u00a0 On the ground with a little of the herbage visible in the image is also acceptable.\u00a0<\/p>

    Remember that the images need to have been captured within the 12 months preceding the month in which they are shown.<\/span><\/p>

    Please keep your total number of images to 20 so that we have plenty of time to show everyone\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
